Avoiding Jams
•
Use only recommended print media.
•
See
"Loading Print Media in the Multipurpose Feeder (MPF)" on page 74
Media in the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)" on page 81
•
Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the stacked print media does not exceed
the maximum height indicated on the paper width guides.
•
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
•
Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try
feeding one sheet at a time through the MPF or the PSI.
•
Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
•
Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
•
Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media.
•
Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
•
Do not remove the PSI during a print job.
•
Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
•
Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
